But ahead of Thursday’s Europa League last-16 first-leg tie at Olympiacos, the 27-year-old insists he has shaken off his “difficult moment” with injuries and “adaptation”.

Partey has been frustrated by thigh, hip and hamstring injuries.

But he said: “Yes, it was a difficult moment to get used to how the team play and I think the injuries are part of the adaptation. Now I feel good.

And of Partey he told his Vibe with FIVE YouTube series: “That’s another one, he’s never fit.

“He keeps coming back and breaking down!

“They’ve got good players there but for some reason, I don’t know what’s happening, it just isn’t coming together consistently at the moment.”

But whatever Arsenal’s issues, Partey claims team spirit is not one of them.
